Toussaint L'Ouverture International Airport (MTPP): update on 1/16/2010 @ 11:15 AM EST

I found two FAA advisories dated Jan. 16, 2010 (005, 007) updating the situation at MTPP. The ground stop at Toussaint L'Ouverture International Airport (MTPP) was canceled late yesterday (EST). I am copying relevant portions of the text of FAA advisories 005 and 007 date 1/16/2010 and one of the notams (notices to airmen) referred to in advisory 007.

A word on the notam, from what I understand from my pilot friends, the FAA often issues multiple notams with the same wording to ensure that the notice gets out to all affected parties. In this case there are three notams all saying that the "U.S. Government has established temporary air traffic flow management procedures for flights into MTPP."
